In Part 2 of our deep dive on Porsche potentially leaving the WEC, we move past the headlines and onto the real battleground: the rules and politics that shape motorsport.
This episode explores:
- Why Balance of Performance (BoP) is disliked yet essential in today’s WEC
- The long-term fight over LMH vs. LMDh convergence, and why Porsche care so much
- Lessons from IndyCar’s “Split” and why technical fragmentation is so dangerous
- How Porsche’s public comments may be less about leaving, and more about bargaining power
Are Porsche's comments a true reflection of their thoughts on technical issues, or are they an attempt to utilize the raw power of their racing heritage and reputation?
